checkHalfWidthPathSeg always enforce

 OK, not explaining myself clearly and I probably have confused pathSegs with plain ol' paths.  The variable is more than likely referring to pathSegs not paths so I was off the mark completely.

Here's the problem described in a couple of ways:  I am drawing a path that is, say, 1 unit wide.  I want to bend it and stop the last segment at a length of .5 units wide.  Tool won't let me; workaround is to draw the path longer than 1 unit and chop it off.  And, if I have a bunch of things selected, one of them being a path like this, and I want to stretch the lot making the path less than half width the tool won't let me.

Incredibly frustrating. I want to turn this behavior off completely.  Am I doing something dangerous?  In my world (custom RF), no. 

Another example is a large array of resistor units and I need to hook some end-to-end ( a series configuration).  I need a fat, stubby hunk of metal 1, i.e. wider than long.  The piece of metal does not sit out in space causing problems; it Tbones in a perfectly acceptable way with the metal present in the resistor pcell  If the metal did sit out in space or was dangerous then drc/erc would catch it.

I look forward to the IC615 release.  It would be nice if I didn't get the pop up.   If I'm turning off the "feature" then I obviously don't care.

 And, what I mean by "dumb" in "dumb bug" is not the issues present in 6.1.X but the general tendency of Cadence to "Windows-ize" the user experience by dumbing things down and trying to anticipate "mistakes" and keep the user from making them (also referring to the iconization and missing textual menu items).

Thank you,
